Default rims

i know I'm probably annoying some of you guys now with a lot of posts but you guys know more than me anyways. Just a brief Question.

I should:
1. buy 17s since i can use my stock tires and save buttloads of money
2. buy 18s that will look sick and i wont regret getting.

no. and your not being very specific. size, tires, ect would make a huge difference. first thing is first. toyo proxy fz4s suck nuts. sh!tty grip and sh!tty wear. i bought my first set from rim1. then i did my research and got new stuff. 10x better for a little more.

yeah i was thinking about getting them from rim1 also. idk i might just go with 17s because i already got good tires for them. Then again 18s would be sick, but id have to buy ____ty tires and not the best 18s.

i would just stick with the stock for a while and save up until you can afford good wheels and tires... or if that's not an option, go konig. they are pretty cheap, and you can get a set of 17s for cheap and just throw on your stock tires.

and sorry, but i'm not feeling those wheels you posted on a tC.

thats cool, thanks for your honest opinion man. im just really stuck on whether or not to get 17s and use my stock tires and save like 500 bucks or get 18s because they are badass and i dont want to regret it.

ok heres a serious opinion:

they're ugly, for 1k you can't do much better because the quality of wheel for that price is pretty much crap. for 2k you could get a lot of really nice wheels, i suggest this.... SAVE, but you probably wont, you'll get those wheels because the money is burning a hole in your pocket so you'll buy them disregarding anything we say

haha actually no bro im just throwing up stuff cuz these are the ones i got a deal on. but i guess they were cheap anyways cuz you guys are saying they arn't worth it. i agree i never really liked them but i was thinking my thoughts would change when they are actually on the car. sorry if it seemed like it, just dont wanna do anything im gonna regret
